We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.
Animals may not be adopted as a "gift" for someone unless all family members are aware of the adoption and meet the animal before the adoption takes place
Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.
If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations.

ABOUT ME!: Handsome Luther came to us from South Carolina where he and another male dog were left overnight in the shelters intake pen. Luther is a super sweet boy who just loves every human he meets. he loves to play, loves belly rubs, is super smart, walks great on a leash, is learning how to do agility, and is housebroken! Luther loves car rides, snacks, and long naps. Luther is deaf- so he will need a home with patience and time to train. A fenced yard is a must - this boy just loves to run and play outside! Luther may be deaf but he has adapted to it so well. So well in fact that the shelter he came to us from had no idea he even was! He is extremely food motivated and learns things very quickly for treats and positive reinforced training. Luther is a definite food scavenger and should be crated when home alone to prevent him getting into things he shouldn't be! He loves to learn new things and absolutely loves to cuddle with anyone who will let him!
I am neutered, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!

PABLO
Pablo is a 7 month old Chihuahua/Pitbull mix! He has a neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. If you are not familiar with the condition here is a brief overview-
The symptoms of cerebellar hypoplasia are often not noticed at birth, and may not be noticed until the pet begins to be more active from around 6 weeks of age. Incoordination, jerky movements, and tremors may indicate the condition.
Although there is no treatment for this disorder, often pets can go on to live long quality lives.
The cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for coordination, balance and depth perception. Cerebellar hypoplasia is a congenital disorder in which the cerebellum is not completely matured at birth. This can be caused by a genetic disposition that affects some canine breeds or a number of conditions affecting the pregnant dog, such as infection, poisoning, and malnutrition.
This condition is often noticed from about 6 weeks of age, as dogs begin to gain more movement. This disease is characterized by its non-progressive cerebellar signs. The symptoms your pet suffers from can vary greatly between cases. The symptoms include:
Nystagmus
Incoordination
Ataxia and dysmetria
Intention tremor (tremor that increases at the end of a deliberate movement) of the head and eyes
Wide stance
Disequilibrium (the sensation of being off balance)
Pablo is looking for a home with dog experience and preferable experience with dogs with disabilities. He cannot ever do stairs and does best on flat non slip surfaces. He is a typical happy puppy who loves to play, cuddle, and eat! He weighs 22 pounds and will need a home with a yard, preferably fenced- he is fast despite his condition! He will wobble, and fall but it doesn’t slow him down or concern him in the slightest. He is housebroken with a consistent routine, and gets along great with other dogs. Pablo is happy go lucky ready for any new friend! He is now neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed and on parasite preventions. Vet reference required and experience with disabled dogs.

ABOUT ME!: Handsome Porky was found as a stray in the city of Syracuse. He was likely a discarded breeding stud. He has only known love and spoiling since arriving to us! He loves big cozy beds, big stuffed toys, and wearing warm clothes on a cold day! Porky is a gentle giant but also a bull in a china shop! You will need sturdy legs around this bulldozer! He is low to the ground and a big boy. Porky has a facial paralysis on one side of his face which causes him to drool more than most dogs- so you must love some drool in your life! The vet said it was likely caused by trauma or a bad infection from his poorly cropped ears. Due to his facial paralysis he cannot do stairs or jump off of high surfaces. He has a poor depth perception because of it. Pork loves female dogs and will happily be bullied by them. But he is not as much a fan of males, and cannot live with small animals. Although he loves to play with females, he does not wish to share his home with one. He does not like to share his toys with other dogs.
Porky was heart worm positive when he was found on the streets, likely from life outdoors. It is a mild case and can be easily treated with monthly prevention that cannot be missed! Porky is clean in his kennel (minus his drool), and not destructive with his toys or big beds! He loves going for walks with our volunteers too! This guy walks great on a harness!
I am neutered, heart worm positive but being treated with the slow kill method (heartgard plus every month!), microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!

ABOUT ME!: Piper is the cutest little red Terrier mix! Her breed makeup is totally unknown but she is a definite super mutt! Piper is a ball of energy seeking a very active family. She was adopted from us in February to a family with very young kids. Unfortunately she was recently returned as they did not have time to exercise her and give her attention when they had such young kids. Piper absolutely adores children and her next home should have slightly older ones so that mom and dad have time to devote to a dog as well. Piper would benefit from daily runs or hikes, and a fenced in yard. This girl loves to run and play and a short daily walk simply will not cut it. Piper is fine meeting other dogs out and about but does not wish to live with one or have to share any of her things with one. Piper is the sweetest pup you will ever meet and is eager to get back into a home again!
I am spayed, heart worm negative, micro chipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions.
